From 2h ago 05.31 GMT Starmer calls emergency meeting on UK economy as risks from war mount British prime minister Keir Starmer is set to chair an emergency meeting on the economic fallout from the war in Iran on Monday, with chancellor of the exchequer Rachel Reeves and Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey also attending, the UK government has said. Financial markets face another turbulent week after Iran said it would strike its Gulf neighbours’ energy and water systems if Donald Trump followed through on his threat to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if it doesn’t fully open up the crucial strait of Hormuz. The UK is watching with particular unease, Reuters reports. The country’s heavy dependence on imported natural gas, persistently high inflation and stretched public finances have pushed its government bonds into a far steeper decline than those of international peers. Keir Starmer will chair the emergency meeting on Monday. Photograph: Tolga Akmen/EPA Britain’s finance ministry said before the so-called “Cobra” meeting: double quotation mark Topics expected to be covered are the economic impact of the crisis on families and businesses, energy security and the resilience of industry and supply chains alongside the international response. Foreign secretary Yvette Cooper and energy secretary Ed Miliband will also attend. Reeves has said it is too soon to say what the impact of the war will be for Britain’s economy and has resisted calls for sweeping cost-of-living measures for households, saying instead that more targeted support is under consideration. Starmer and Donald Trump spoke by phone on Sunday evening, the UK government said in a statement. “The leaders discussed the current situation in the Middle East, and in particular, the need to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to resume global shipping.” Share Updated at 06.16 GMT 18m ago 07.22 GMT Keir Starmer is expected to hold an emergency Cobra meeting this afternoon to discuss the economic fallout of the Iran w...

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock is 2.7% higher to trade at $378.12 today, a strong start to a week. The shares are set to snap a three-day losing streak today that sent TSLA to its lowest level since September on Friday. Amidst its recent slide, options traders have been circling. For over a year now, Tesla has landed on Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White's list of stocks seeing the most options volume in the past 10 days. In this two-week timeframe, the stock has seen 14.3 million calls and 11.1 million puts traded, with the weekly 3/13 400-strike calls seeing notable activity, while the weekly March 390 calls are also popular. Tesla stock on Friday tested its 320-day moving average, and has reclaimed this trendline. The shares just wrapped their fifth-straight weekly loss. The skid from TSLA's Dec. 22 record high of $498.83 sent its 14-Day Relative Strength Index (RSI) down to 30, on the cusp of "oversold" territory and a partial explainer for today's rally. Options are affordably priced, per the EV stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 44% that stands in the 7th percentile of annual readings. It's worth noting that Tesla's Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) comes in at 6 out of 100. In other words, the stock has consistently realized lower volatility than its options have priced in over the past 12 months, making it a premium selling candidate.

'Become MPs To Protect Your Homeland!' - Alarm Bells In Spain As Moroccan Diaspora Seeks Political Mobilization Via Remix News, Spain is facing mounting concern over the long-term consequences of years of large-scale Moroccan migration, as warnings grow that a sizable and increasingly organized community could begin to exert coordinated political influence. Official figures cited by La Región show that nearly 900,000 Moroccan nationals were living in Spain in 2024, making them the largest Muslim group in the country. More than 226,000 are concentrated in Catalonia, with numbers continuing to rise sharply. What is now causing alarm is not just the scale, but the potential for political mobilization. The Spanish news outlet referenced a 2023 speech by Enaam Mayara, then-president of the Moroccan parliament’s upper chamber, in which he openly called on Moroccans living in Spain to enter politics, join parties, and take part in elections. His goal was clear: to build influence inside Spanish institutions and defend Moroccan national interests from within. “The community in our northern neighbor should be encouraged to participate in that country’s political process,” Mayara said. “Members of the Moroccan community should be encouraged to become members of parliament in the country of their nationality in order to defend the interests of their homeland whenever necessary.” “The Moroccan community must integrate into Spanish political parties to form a lobby that defends Morocco,” he added. The comments sparked fears that what began as migration could evolve into coordinated political leverage. More recently, Morocco has moved to strengthen its grip on diaspora identity through education. Earlier this month, in response to the suspension of the Arabic language and Moroccan culture program in the Spanish regions of Madrid and Murcia, Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita called for reforms to overseas teaching programs that could trigger a “qualitative transformation” i...

UK government bonds are headed for their worst month since the historic rout that led to the ouster of former Prime Minister Liz Truss , as the war in the Middle East sends energy costs and yields higher. An index tracking the performance of a conventional gilt portfolio is down almost 5% this month — its largest fall since an 8% slide in September 2022. The selloff has erased £108 billion from the benchmark’s market value, which stood at £1.63 trillion at Friday’s close. “The UK rates market saw one of the sharpest shocks in recent history,” Morgan Stanley analysts Fabio Bassanin and Luca Salford wrote in a note. “The current backdrop should remain unsupportive for gilts.” While global bonds have been hit hard since the US and Israel started their strikes on Iran, gilts have led the drop. The UK’s dependency on imported energy makes it particularly vulnerable to supply disruptions. That’s seen traders price in three quarter-point rate hikes from the Bank of England this year — a complete reversal from the two rate cuts seen before the conflict — as officials vowed to keep inflation in check. Gilts trading resumes at 8 a.m. in London.

When Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was recorded refusing to sign a shirt when a man approached his car after a match recently, he defended himself against a backlash by saying he felt "exposed" and claimed some fans "are not doing it for the right reasons". Last year, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola furiously berated a group of hunters who approached him at a car park near his home, lambasting their career choice, telling them: "Don't come again - I won't tell you again, I know your faces. Do you want to live your life doing this, honestly? What are your dreams?" The sports memorabilia industry is estimated to be worth billions of pounds globally per year, underlining the wealth professional hunters can generate by regularly seeking out stars. Clubs sometimes have to step in and protect players, including banning professional hunters from operating outside training grounds, providing security staff at nearby petrol stations where hunters know players stop to fill up their cars, and in some cases helping escort them home. In 2023 Manchester United's Mason Mount was filmed telling hunters to stop following him home after they had done so on consecutive days. And earlier this month United defender Noussair Mazraoui was recorded comically scribbling half-hearted signatures on a set of shirts given to him by a hunter who approached him at his car window after training. "Players get really fed up with it," says Premier League winner Chris Sutton. "I've had it loads of times as a player and as a pundit. They stand outside the BBC studio and ask me to sign 12 number nine shirts all at once. I queried it recently and said 'you're going to flog these online, aren't you?' "It's so annoying that the intention is to make money out of players and other high-profile people. It's up to the player, manager, or has-been like myself to make a judgement call in the moment. "If we say no, then the spurned party will often abuse the person who turned them down and out them online or pu...

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. will invest 287.4b yen ($1.8 billion) in insurer Tokio Marine Holdings Inc. , marking a significant increase in the US conglomerate’s exposure to the Japanese market. National Indemnity Company , a subsidiary of Berkshire, will make a 2.49% strategic investment in Tokio Marine, and the two companies will collaborate on reinsurance and mergers and acquisition, according to a statement Monday. The deal is Berkshire’s latest move in Japan, where six years ago — under the leadership of Warren Buffett — the firm revealed it had invested in the country’s largest trading houses. Buffett said in an annual letter to shareholders that the firm was looking to raise ownership in Japan’s five largest trading houses “over time.” Tokio Marine will sell treasury shares to Berkshire Hathaway as part of its strategic partnership. Berkshire said it will not raise its stake above 9.9% without approval from Tokio Marine’s board.

Unless market turmoil ruins the fun, 2026 looks to be a banner year for initial public offerings (IPOs). Giant private companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Databricks are planning to sell stock to public investors. No IPO is as anticipated as SpaceX. The spaceflight company founded by Elon Musk has been private for two decades and is rumored to be planning the largest IPO in history later this year at a valuation of $1.5 trillion or higher. The downside of an IPO is that retail investors may only be able to buy SpaceX stock after a potential IPO pop, putting them at the back of the line. Luckily, investors have a workaround to buying SpaceX stock today. Here's how anyone -- not just professional investors -- can get exposure to SpaceX stock before its upcoming market debut.
